A Spanish painter who is widely acknowledged to be the most important artist of the 20th century. He experimented with a wide
range of styles and themes in his long career, most notably inspiring 'Cubism'.
He is one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century.
Picasso superstitiously believed that work would keep him alive. For nearly 80 of his 91 years Picasso devoted himself to an
artistic production that contributed considerably to and paralleled the whole development of modern art.
